Title: That's Funny, You Don't Look Buddhist: On Being a Faithful Jew and a Passionate Buddhist by Sylvia Boorstein, Sharon Lebell, Stephen Mitchell ISBN: 0-06-060957-5 Publisher: Harpercollins Pub. Date: 01 December, 1996 Format: Hardcover Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $20.00 |
Average Customer Rating: 3.71 (7 reviews)
Rating: 5
Summary: simple and pleasing
Comment: This was a gentle and satisfying read for me, with a good connection of the commonalities of two ancient religions. This author expressed the her evolving sense of self with sincerity and honesty. Bottom line, it made me feel good.
Rating: 1
Summary: Irony
Comment: I just find it deeply ironic that there seems to be such an effort to accomodate a Jew who has become Buddhist and insists that this is not a violation of her "Yiddishkeit", and the opposition to Jews who choose to believe in Jesus and yet remain Jewish.
Rating: 3
Summary: Jewish/Buddhist teachers
Comment: A significant number of Westerners practicing Buddhism are Jews. What is the attraction of Buddhism? In this book, Boorstein shares how her experience of twenty years of meditation practice deepened and enriched her Judaism. Using her own story she shows how mindfulness meditation can lead to the appreciation of every moment, which imbues any religion with renewed meaning. I also recommend "Open Your Mind, Open Your Life: A Little Book of Eastern Wisdom" by Taro Gold - another great Jewish/Buddhist teacher.
